Subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth below, you hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the appropriate State and Federal courts

located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, with respect to all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.

Arbitration Any claim or controversy arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the products or services we provide or distribute shall be settled by individual binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then effective. Any such claim or controversy shall be arbitrated on an individual basis and shall not be consolidated with a claim of any other party. Further, in any such dispute, under no circumstances will you be permitted to obtain awards for, and you hereby waive all rights to claim punitive, incidental or consequential damages, and you further waive all rights to have damages multiplied or increased. This shall not preclude Licensor from seeking any injunctive relief for protection of our Intellectual Property Rights. The arbitration shall take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or such other location as the parties may mutually agree. The arbitrator(s) shall issue a reasoned award, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator(s) will each be a natural person who has never been employed (either as an employee or as an independent consultant) by either of the parties, or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate thereof, and will be generally familiar with the business of the parties. The arbitrator(s) may upon request exclude from use in the arbitration proceeding any evidence not made available to the other party pursuant to a proper discovery request. The cost of the arbitration will be borne equally by the parties. The parties, their representatives, other participants, the arbitrator(s) and the administrator(s) of the arbitration will hold in confidence the existence, content and outcome of the arbitration. The parties understand that: (i) arbitration is final and binding on the parties; (ii) the parties are waiving their right to seek remedies in court, including the right to a jury trial; (iii) pre-arbitration discovery is generally more limited than and different from court procedures; and (iv) any party's right to appeal or to seek modification of rulings by the arbitrators is strictly limited. 14.

General This Agreement, as modified from time to time as described above, and including the Terms of Service and Policies, sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between the parties. Without limiting any other remedy available to us, we may suspend or terminate this Agreement or our services under this Agreement if we have reason to believe that you have failed to comply with your obligations under this Agreement. Upon termination, cancellation, suspension or expiration of this Agreement for any reason and by either party, you agree to cease all use of the Software and our services. You shall not thereby be entitled to any refund or credit. No delay or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of such provision by Licensor or act as estoppel against later enforcement. You may not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Licensor. Licensor shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement due to any delay or failure of performance or interruption in the availability of its services resulting directly or indirectly from any act of nature or other cause beyond the reasonable control of Licensor. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in such provision, and that the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect. Sections 2-4, 7-14 and 16 of this Agreement will survive any cancellation or termination of this Agreement. The section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. VERSION: 2.2 Effective Date: April 28, 2005
